She is a true warrior. Having to go through all these issues at such a young age. Fighting doctors for answers and trying to push forward when no one could give her answers. I hope you reach out to her and find...

I was sent this link (https://ndnr.com/autoimmuneallergy-medicine/addisons-disease/) by a sister Addisonian. I was really shocked at how broken down this was. I have never came across an article that was so informative. I learned so much and I really wanted to share it with those who are suffering from Addison's Disease or know of someone who is.
I read through the article (please excuse the pronunciation of things, I know I butchered so much of it) and give a little bit of info about what...

What is self-care? Why do we have mom guilt? Why we should be doing more self-self care and what that looks like. Is it long strolls down the Target isles? Is it stopping at a coffee stand and getting your favorite drink? Is it locking yourself in a bathroom and taking a longer shower and doing a mini facial?

I wrote a book: Fighting Addisons Disease and Fibromyalgia-My 50 day journey on a Whole Food Plant Based Diet. I talk about what it did for me and how I felt while I was on it.
You can find my book on Amazon and the Barnes and Nobel website.
For the mac and cheese recipe, you can go to my blog page chronicmomsclub.wixsite.com/chronicmomsclub and I posted it under Style and Recipes.

I went into the ER on Monday April 1, 2019. I woke up with tremors and couldn't open my eyes. It was very traumatic for me, yet an eyeopener at the same time. I learned a lot in those days and it gave me more drive to push forward with sharing stories of others.

Cassie and I have been friends for almost 10 years now and we have been through some rough shit. We have stuck by each other in the craziest situations. She is one of my favorite people and I know you will all love her as much as I do.

I have the pleasure of introducing you all to @mommywaggles. She is a strong warrior and fellow spoonie. I hope you enjoy her story and reach out to her with encouragement. Thank you for letting me share your story.

A run down on what a shit show my ER visit was. We are sick and we don't want to be treated like we are "med seekers," we just want the nurses and doctors to understand that we know our limits, we know our capabilities, and we know our illness, because we are the ones living in these bodies.
